About Venue

The Assembly Rooms is a multi-purpose, unique event venue capable of hosting a range of events from music concerts and festivals to business conferences and exhibitions. For more than 200 years the venue has been at the heart of the capital, has hosted both monarchy and celebrity royalty, played its part in two world wars and celebrated artistic excellence.

Ideal for:

Receptions, dinners, dances, conference, seminars, catering area, launches, trade fairs, ceilidhs, galas, balls, concerts, performances, poster sessions, weddings, exhibitions.

The Ballroom provides a stunning blank canvas on which you can really let your imagination run free. The room makes a magnificent, light-filled statement from four magnificent chandeliers and a row of grand Georgian windows overlooking Edinburgh’s George Street. Staging is available either via the central stage, which is set into the natural curve of the building, or via modular staging that can be used in a number of creative ways.

Add in additional PA and projection, individual climate control, ISDN2 lines, WIFI throughout and an impressive built-in sound system and we think that we have it all covered. The glory and splendour of this iconic room is never compromised.

Seen 'Raise the Barre' and it was incredible!! One of the best dance performances I've ever seen. It was a blend of all dance genres performed through excellent acting by incredibly talented performers. A must see coming to the fringe, throat hurt from cheering and hands red from clapping.
